Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle above you can use SOHCAHTOA and determine that tanθ =

y

x

. Replacing tanθ with 3 you get

3 =

y

x


3x = y


Then use the Pythagorean Theorem to

x2 + y2 = 252. Replace y with 3x

x2 + 9x2 = 625

10x2 = 625

x2 =

625

10


x =

25

10

= 7.9


Since,

y = 3x

y = 3(7.9) = 23.7


x ≈ 7.9; y ≈ 23.7

The wording of this problem indicates that there was an illustration.  Could you possibly share that illustration?

Working without an illustration:

If tan theta = 3, then tan theta = opp/adj = 3/1.  This tells us that the opp side is 3 times as long as is the adj. side.  Let x be the shorter side, i. e., let x represent the adjacent side; then y is the longer side and represents the opposite side.

Then y = 3x (the opp side is 3x the adj side in length).

Applying the Pyth. Thm.    a^2 + b^2 = c^2,

x^2 + (3x)^2 = hyp^2 = (25 cm.)^2

So x^2 + 9x^2 = (625 cm^2)

10x^2 = 625 cm^2, or x^2 = (625 cm^2) / 10 = 62.5 cm^2

x = 7.91 cm.  Therefore, y = 3(7.91) = 23.72 cm.

We were supposed to round off these answers to the nearest 10th cm.
Therefore, x = 7.9 cm and y = 23.7 cm

Would that be A, B, C or D?

A cube has a volume of 125 in3. find the side length of this cube in inches.​
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a cube's volume is its side length cubed. So to get the side length when given the volume, you can take the cube root of the volume. \sqrt[3]{125}  = 5 inches.

Molly uses 192 beads to make a bracelet and a necklace. It takes 5 times as many beads to make a necklace than t does to make a
neonofarm [45]
Solve for the bracelet first. x represents number of beads for bracelet So it would be number of beads for the bracelet + number of beads for necklace (5x) and they both equal 192 x + 5x = 192 Then you would add the x and 5x.<br />6x = 192 Now all you have to do is divide by 6 on both sides. 6× ÷ 6 = 192 ÷ 6 You know have the number of beads it takes for a bracelet. x = 32 to get the necklace all you need to do is multiply it by 5 because you need 5 times more for the necklace. 32 × 5 total beads needed is 160. 160 x+5x=192 6×=192 6x÷6=192÷6 x=32 necklace needs 32x5 beads per necklace is 160
